Fix wallet load error on incomplete gettransaction (Failed to load utxos, IndexError: list index out of range)

[leon-costa]

The error happens when the wallet has some locked outputs in listlockunspent and the corresponding gettransaction doesn't contain the details of this particular output.

It may be related to https://github.com/bitcoin/bitcoin/issues/28555. It is at least the same symptom.

The locked outputs were locked by creating a transaction in Specter. This has happened to me multiple times.

The UI says it failed to load the wallet with the following error: Failed to load utxos, IndexError: list index out of range

The raw transaction does contain the missing output so we use that instead.

Here's an example that generates the error:

listlockunspent:
[
  {
    "txid": "<some txid>",
    "vout": 0
  }
]

gettransaction <some txid>:
{
  "amount": <redacted>,

    }
  ],

}

      ],

    }
  ],
  "vout": [
    {
      "value": <redacted>,
      "n": 0,
      "scriptPubKey": {

        "desc": "<redacted>",
        "hex": "<redacted>",
        "address": "<redacted>",

      }
    },
    {
      "value": <redacted>,
      "n": 1,
      "scriptPubKey": {

        "type": "<redacted>"
      }
    }
  ]
}
